Scale of 3D models on import #197

Open arttechleo opened 11 months ago

arttechleo commented 11 months ago

When importing 3D models into a mr.js it is hard to tell the scale, rotation and translation parameters of the imported model.

Maybe there could be an automatic scaler/importer that can show the imported model on a website. I don't know how to address this issue for now as many 3D softwares have different understanding of pivots, scale, rotation, etc

Would love to help offering examples of exported 3D models from various softwares.

keep this issue opened to track a fix for the UX problem if we can. Currently most models need a scale of 0.0001 or something before they appear visible, and it's not ideal. A warning in the console "⚠️ foo.stl might be too small to be visible on the scene" might already help new developers not get frustrated
